If I understand the proposal right then __main__ won't be a builtin. 
Each module would get a new global variable __main__ which is set either 
to True or False.

Also I consider sys kinda reserved for the sys module while the __main__ 
global var approach would reserve a new name that I like to see used for 
something else.

+0.25 for sys in builtins
